Reconstructed Magazine begins with Volume 1: Light Upon Light, featuring 20 multidisciplinary artists from around the world who identify as Muslim, Muslim-heritage, or with evolving proximity to Islam. Founded by queer, Black, and Shia Muslims, we assume our humanity and uplift those who have been most marginalized within, and outside of, the Muslim Ummah, through honoring diverse artistic practices, we curate an experience that is as infinite as those who submit to, and interact with, this publication.
